      In a load test that starts 80k process instances containing a timer, the server runs into an OutOfMemoryError before all instances are being created. The heap dump shows a GlobalJpaTimerJobInstance for each created process instance:

      Class Name                                          | Objects | Shallow Heap |    Retained Heap
      ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      

      These instances are held in memory by the EJBTimerScheduler.localCache:

      Class Name                                                                           | Shallow Heap | Retained Heap

      The EJBTimerScheduler.localCache has been added in RHBPMS-4762 to address a performance issue in Websphere.
